As of CentOS 7, DNF isn't even an option. Yum is the only thing to use.

Correct. But it has been in fedora for a while now.

Is dnf the default in Fedora now?

Yes

I understand what you're saying, I'm speaking totally in regards to the configuration of a piece of software, not accessing a program.

Why pick that one use case?

I'm trying to understand the use case: Windows vs. Linux. It makes more sense to me to use a shortcut in a GUI, but what is the use case for the CLI?

Here is a real world example. The corporate IT guys are using something called Useful. It displays images through a zero client attached to a TV. We mounted a share to the server and made a soft link to the directory in the share. Useful looks at the soft link for images and sees whatever is in the share.

Really I meant less it's ohysical look and more your impression of its value and potential 🙂

That's why we switched to running it on Ubuntu with Snaps. Runs great.

@JaredBusch Awesome. Tks Jared. Tested and works beautifully!

All of the RHEL/CentOS 7 stuff I've used has started at 1000. Identity Management sets users in a random range around 1,000,000,000.

There is a bit of a delay since the admin had other services running on his domain controller. He has a SQL that he has to address before he can reboot the other domain controller. I got AD replicating between the domain controllers and DHCP/DNS working properly, but as far as the AD certs, I'm bowing out of this one at this point. I don't know enough about the underpinnings to know how to test it properly since an attempt to set it up was botched halfway through.

I'll be interested to hear myself how it is resolved.

Sorry, Yes, it's Windows 10, connected to a domain.

@guyinpv From the storage tab while a vm is selected in XenCenter, Click on Attach Disk. choose the disk from your list of SR.

The only thing in this menu is "Local storage" and "Removable storage".

The VHD files I have are not located on the local storage media, they are on my NAS backup device.

Somehow I have to get the VHD files off the NAS and imported into the existing VMs.

I'm not sure how to do this off the top of my head in XenOrchestra (me=fail). How I got my XO back was by using XenCenter. Have the VHD files available on the local machine, and then go to file -> import inside of XenCenter, and select one of the VHD files. You'll then get the normal vm creation questions, but without the storage creation. You should be good to go after the import.

Sounds reasonable. Then I just have to figure out how to copy the files onto the server local storage. There is no general "file browser" in XC where I can just copy files from the network.

The import takes care of that for you, you don't have to copy any files to XenServer yourself.

So the existing website is built on DNN, which Bitium has a SAML SSO solution which may work for this.

Still investigating.

Long time follow up here. But for those stumbling on there, VeraCrypt would be an important tool to consider today.

@black3dynamite said in Received an from Sangoma about a security attack email:

Anyone else received the same email?

Multiple copies. Anyone that registered their FreePBX instance should have gotten one.

I was provided with PDU remote access so I can reboot the server that way.

We use the one built into Nessus.

It's been a long time for this thread. But since it was originally posted I have been working on SAM's Guide to Linux Administration.

Stumbled on this, remember when Vipre was a thing? Boy have things changed a lot in the last few years.

@scottalanmiller said in old MSP wants to know what they did wrong:

So what ever came of this MSP conversation?

I never had to talk to him. Emails relayed through the business owner went back and fourth about getting the domain name transferred and that was it.

I did end up keeping a list of everything I found that was wrong because that was the worst environment I have ever seen - maintained by a "professional" or not.
